為讓本發明的上述特徵和優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉實施例,並配合所附圖式作詳細說明如下。In order to make the above features and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, embodiments are hereinafter described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

請參照圖1,圖1繪示本發明一實施例的多通道傳輸裝置的示意圖。多通道傳輸裝置100包括前級電路110、後級電路120以及時脈信號產生器130。前級電路110耦接至時脈信號產生器130。前級電路110接收一多通道時脈CKx(p)與一多通道資料DTx(p),其中多通道時脈CKx(p)包含多個第一時脈信號PMAD_CK0~PMAD_CKN,多通道資料DTx(p)包含多個並列的資料信號DT0~DTN。前級電路110選擇多通道時脈CKx(p)其中之一的第一時脈信號PMAD_CK0~PMAD_CKN作為基準時脈信號。前級電路110依據基準時脈信號用以接收多通道資料DTx(p)以及輸出一多通道中繼信號MSx(p),其中,多通道中繼信號MSx(p)包含多個並列的中繼信號MS0~MSN。Please refer to FIG. 1, which is a schematic diagram of a multi-channel transmission device according to an embodiment of the present invention. The multi-channel transmission device 100 includes a pre-stage circuit 110, a post-stage circuit 120, and a clock signal generator 130. The pre-stage circuit 110 is coupled to the clock signal generator 130. The pre-stage circuit 110 receives a multi-channel clock CKx (p) and a multi-channel data DTx (p). The multi-channel clock CKx (p) includes multiple first clock signals PMAD_CK0 ~ PMAD_CKN, and the multi-channel data DTx ( p) Contains multiple parallel data signals DT0 ~ DTN. The pre-stage circuit 110 selects the first clock signal PMAD_CK0 ~ PMAD_CKN as one of the multi-channel clocks CKx (p) as the reference clock signal. The pre-stage circuit 110 receives multi-channel data DTx (p) and outputs a multi-channel relay signal MSx (p) according to the reference clock signal. The multi-channel relay signal MSx (p) includes multiple parallel relays. Signals MS0 ~ MSN.

後級電路120耦接至前級電路110以及時脈信號產生器130。後級電路120依據第二時脈信號CK(s)用以接收多通道中繼信號MSx(p),以及輸出一多通道輸出信號TXPNx(s),其中多通道輸出信號TXPNx(s)包含多個序列的輸出信號TXPN0~TXPNN。而時脈信號產生器130用以接收第二時脈信號CK(s),並依據第二時脈信號CK(s)以產生多通道時脈CKx(p)。其中,多通道時脈CKx(p)的頻率皆低於第二時脈信號CK(s)的頻率。The post-stage circuit 120 is coupled to the pre-stage circuit 110 and the clock signal generator 130. The post-stage circuit 120 receives the multi-channel relay signal MSx (p) and outputs a multi-channel output signal TXPNx (s) according to the second clock signal CK (s). The multi-channel output signal TXPNx (s) includes multiple signals. The output signals TXPN0 ~ TXPNN of each sequence. The clock signal generator 130 is configured to receive the second clock signal CK (s) and generate a multi-channel clock CKx (p) according to the second clock signal CK (s). Among them, the frequency of the multi-channel clock CKx (p) is lower than the frequency of the second clock signal CK (s).

在本實施例中,時脈信號產生器130依據多個不同的除數對第二時脈信號CK(s)進行除頻動作,以產生多通道時脈CKx(p),其中,多通道時脈CKx(p)具有多個頻率相同且相位相異的第一時脈信號PMAD_CK0~PMAD_CKN。上述的除數可以是大於1的任意實數,沒有特別的限制。In this embodiment, the clock signal generator 130 performs a frequency division operation on the second clock signal CK (s) according to a plurality of different divisors to generate a multi-channel clock CKx (p). The pulse CKx (p) has a plurality of first clock signals PMAD_CK0 ~ PMAD_CKN with the same frequency and different phases. The above divisor may be any real number greater than 1, and is not particularly limited.

值得注意的,在本實施例中,前級電路110為數位電路,後級電路120則為類比電路。並且,前級電路110選擇多通道時脈CKx(p)其中之一的第一時脈信號PMAD_CK0~PMAD_CKN作為基準時脈信號,並依據具有相對低頻率的基準時脈信號來進行多通道資料DTx(p)的傳送動作。由於前級電路110為數位電路,因此,前級電路110所產生的資料偏移(skew)狀態可以透過靜態時序分析(Static Timing Analysis, STA)的技術來得到控制。It should be noted that in this embodiment, the pre-stage circuit 110 is a digital circuit, and the post-stage circuit 120 is an analog circuit. In addition, the pre-stage circuit 110 selects the first clock signal PMAD_CK0 ~ PMAD_CKN of one of the multi-channel clocks CKx (p) as the reference clock signal, and performs multi-channel data DTx according to the reference clock signal having a relatively low frequency. (p) The transmission action. Because the pre-stage circuit 110 is a digital circuit, the state of the data skew generated by the pre-stage circuit 110 can be controlled by using Static Timing Analysis (STA) technology.

另一方面,在後級電路120中,多通道中繼信號MSx(p)的傳輸動作則依據具有相對高頻率的第二時脈信號CK(s)來進行。如此一來,類比電路形式的後級電路120可以基於單一時脈信號來進行設計,可降低在設計上,為克服資料偏移(skew)狀態所產生的設計複雜度。並且,透過基於相對高頻率的第二時脈信號CK(s)來進行資料傳輸動作,即使在發生亞穩態(metastability)狀態的現象時,也可以使所產生的資料偏移的程度降至最低。On the other hand, in the post-stage circuit 120, the transmission operation of the multi-channel relay signal MSx (p) is performed according to the second clock signal CK (s) having a relatively high frequency. In this way, the post-stage circuit 120 in the form of an analog circuit can be designed based on a single clock signal, which can reduce the design complexity of the design to overcome the state of data skew. In addition, by performing a data transmission operation based on a relatively high-frequency second clock signal CK (s), even when a phenomenon of a metastability state occurs, the degree of data shift can be reduced to lowest.

以下請參照圖2,圖2繪示本發明另一實施例的多通道傳輸裝置的電路示意圖。多通道傳輸裝置200包括前級電路210、後級電路220以及時脈信號產生器230。前級電路210包括多個數位傳輸通道LANE[0]~LANE[3]、並列旗標信號同步電路SYNC1(p)以及選擇器SEL(p)。數位傳輸通道LANE[0]~LANE[3]分別接收並列的資料信號DT0~DT3,其中,各資料信號DT0~DT3為具有多個位元的並列信號。選擇器SEL(p)接收由時脈信號產生器230所產生的多通道時脈CKx(p),並選擇多通道時脈CKx(p)其中之一的時脈信號以產生基準時脈信號CK(p)。Please refer to FIG. 2 below, which illustrates a schematic circuit diagram of a multi-channel transmission device according to another embodiment of the present invention. The multi-channel transmission device 200 includes a pre-stage circuit 210, a post-stage circuit 220, and a clock signal generator 230. The pre-stage circuit 210 includes a plurality of digital transmission channels LANE [0] to LANE [3], a parallel flag signal synchronization circuit SYNC1 (p), and a selector SEL (p). The digital transmission channels LANE [0] ~ LANE [3] respectively receive parallel data signals DT0 ~ DT3, wherein each data signal DT0 ~ DT3 is a parallel signal having multiple bits. The selector SEL (p) receives the multi-channel clock CKx (p) generated by the clock signal generator 230, and selects one of the multi-channel clock CKx (p) to generate a reference clock signal CK (p).

數位傳輸通道LANE[0]~LANE[3]分別具有正反器組211~214,正反器組211~214的輸入端分別接收資料信號DT0~DT3。正反器組211~214的時脈端與選擇器SEL(p)之間可設置(或不設置)適當的傳輸延遲電路DE1~DE3以使正反器組211~214依據基準時脈信號CK(p)所產生的觸發動作的時間點實質上相同。The digital transmission channels LANE [0] ~ LANE [3] respectively have a flip-flop group 211-214, and the input ends of the flip-flop group 211-214 receive data signals DT0 ~ DT3, respectively. An appropriate transmission delay circuit DE1 to DE3 can be set (or not set) between the clock ends of the flip-flop groups 211 to 214 and the selector SEL (p) so that the flip-flop groups 211 to 214 are based on the reference clock signal CK. (p) The timings of the triggered actions are substantially the same.

正反器組211~214依據基準時脈信號CK(p)來進行資料信號DT0~DT3的資料傳輸動作,並分別在正反器組211~214的輸出端產生並列的中繼信號MS0~MS3。The flip-flop groups 211 to 214 perform data transmission operations of the data signals DT0 to DT3 according to the reference clock signal CK (p), and generate parallel relay signals MS0 to MS3 at the outputs of the flip-flop groups 211 to 214 respectively .

在另一方面,並列旗標信號同步電路SYNC1(p)接收一旗標信號TXFLAG(p),並依據基準時脈信號CK(p)進行旗標信號TXFLAG(p)的同步動作以產生同步旗標信號FLAG(p),前述中的旗標信號TXFLAG(p)來源可為重置信號或啟動信號。並且,前級電路210結合同步旗標信號FLAG(p)至各中繼信號MS0~MS3中,並將結合後的信號傳送至後級電路220。On the other hand, the parallel flag signal synchronization circuit SYNC1 (p) receives a flag signal TXFLAG (p), and performs a synchronization operation of the flag signal TXFLAG (p) according to the reference clock signal CK (p) to generate a synchronization flag. The flag signal FLAG (p), and the source of the flag signal TXFLAG (p) in the foregoing may be a reset signal or a start signal. In addition, the pre-stage circuit 210 combines the synchronization flag signal FLAG (p) into each of the relay signals MS0 ~ MS3, and transmits the combined signal to the post-stage circuit 220.

值得一提的,各正反器組211~214皆可具有多個正反器,其中各正反器組211~214中的正反器的數量可以與各資料信號DT0~DT3的位元數相符。It is worth mentioning that each of the flip-flop groups 211 to 214 can have multiple flip-flops. The number of flip-flops in each of the flip-flop groups 211-214 can be compared with the number of bits of each data signal DT0-DT3 Match.

後級電路220包括多個分別對應於數位傳輸通道LANE[0]~LANE[3]的類比傳輸通道ALANE[0]~ALANE[3]。類比傳輸通道ALANE[0]~ALANE[3]分別包括正反器組221~224、序列旗標信號同步電路SYNC2~SYNC5、並列序列信號轉換電路250~253以及輸出級正反器225~228。The post-stage circuit 220 includes a plurality of analog transmission channels ALANE [0] ~ ALANE [3] corresponding to the digital transmission channels LANE [0] ~ LANE [3], respectively. The analog transmission channels ALANE [0] ~ ALANE [3] include flip-flop groups 221 ~ 224, sequence flag signal synchronization circuits SYNC2 ~ SYNC5, parallel sequence signal conversion circuits 250 ~ 253, and output stage flip-flops 225 ~ 228, respectively.

In the foregoing, the number of flip-flops in each of the flip-flop groups 221 to 224 is substantially larger than the number of flip-flops in each of the flip-flop groups 211 to 214. It is worth mentioning that appropriate transmission delay circuits DE4 to DE7 can be respectively set on the clock ends of the flip-flop groups 221 to 224 to adjust the triggered time points of the flip-flop groups 221 to 224 to be substantially the same.

在本實施例中,正反器組221~224分別對應產生第一資料信號DP0~DP3以及旗標DP_FLAG0 ~ DP_FLAG3,其中,各第一資料信號DP0~DP3為具有多個位元的並列信號。第一資料信號DP0~DP3分別被傳送至並列序列信號轉換電路250~253,旗標DP_FLAG0~DP_FLAG3則分別被傳送至序列旗標信號同步電路SYNC2~SYNC5。序列旗標信號同步電路SYNC2~SYNC5依據第二時脈信號CK(s)以分別針對旗標DP_FLAG0~DP_FLAG3進行同步,並分別產生多個同步旗標信號FLAG(s)。在此請注意,序列旗標信號同步電路SYNC2~SYNC5接收第二時脈信號CK(s)的路徑間,可透過設置(或不設置)適當的傳輸延遲電路DEA8~DEA10來使序列旗標信號同步電路SYNC2~SYNC5的被觸發時間點實質上相同。其中,在本實施例中,傳輸延遲電路DEA8~DAE10所提供的時間延遲的長短可以全相同、全不相同或部分相同,並可由設計者依據電路的布局、製程參數以及運作狀態來設定,沒有特別的限制。In this embodiment, the flip-flop groups 221 to 224 generate the first data signals DP0 to DP3 and the flags DP_FLAG0 to DP_FLAG3 respectively, wherein each of the first data signals DP0 to DP3 is a parallel signal having multiple bits.
